★★★★★ Absolutely Outstanding Experience with Chef Maurice We wanted to entertain out-of-town guests in our small condominium kitchen and give them a true taste of traditional Mexican cuisine. Chef Maurice exceeded every expectation. He arrived promptly and brought everything needed to create an unforgettable evening. As soon as he began cooking, the entire home filled with the most amazing aromas. The meal was prepared and presented beautifully — like dining at the finest restaurant in town, but in the comfort of our own home. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. We had both Spanish- and English-speaking guests, and Chef Maurice seamlessly explained each course in both languages, sharing stories and details that made the experience even more special. His professionalism, warm demeanor, and enthusiasm made everyone feel welcome and engaged. We were able to take pictures and videos throughout the evening for social media and memories, which added to the joy of the occasion. It was an incredible evening from start to finish, and we could not have had a better outcome. We will absolutely repeat this experience with every future guest we host. Chef Maurice is a true professional and a joy to work with — five stars all the way!

Mauricio was outstanding cooking breakfast at our house for 3 mornings for 20 of us. The food was delicious with creative menus every morning. He was very punctual and tidy. Highly recommend.

Food was amazing! Overall would recommend! No concerns

Chef Mauricio was exceptional. He is highly skilled and uses great fresh ingredients. Definitely a memorable meal and experience. The flavors were perfectly balanced. I’ve had the opportunity to travel around Mexico and the world and this was definitely one of the best meals. I would say this is a must if you are considering a chef and would definitely book him again and again.

Food and experience was incredible- highly reccomend!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Chef Mauricio cook a special dinner for us in Tulum, and it was nothing short of amazing! Chef Mauricio was not only friendly and professional, but he also brought such a warm and positive energy to the experience. The dinner he prepared was delicious—the flavors were vibrant, authentic, and perfectly crafted. Every dish felt like it was made with so much care and attention to detail. What really stood out was how he made my sister’s birthday dinner feel extra special. His great conversation and thoughtful touches added to the overall experience in such a meaningful way. This was truly a wonderful experience that we will never forget. If you’re considering hiring Chef Mauricio, don’t hesitate—he will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience! Chef Mauricio made us a 3 course meal that was extremely delicious! We can't wait to book with him again on our next trip to Tulum!

El chef es muy amable, no pudimos compartir con él mientras realizaba la cena. Sin embargo hizo toda la cena súper rápido y le quedó deliciosa! El lleva todo lo que necesita y deja la cocina limpia! Todo estuvo increíble, es un plan muy recomendado si quieres comer como en un restaurante si salir de casa

Chef Mauricio was everything I hoped for and more! I was looking for a chef to make dinner for my husband's birthday while we are on vacation and it was an amazing decision to go with Chef Mauricio. He was on time (early, even!), polite and the food was outstanding. Everything looked fantastic as he served it, and tasted even better than we could have expected. The dessert was hands down the best we've ever had - ever! This was an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend going with Chef Mauricio. Thank you Chef Mauricio!

Mauricio's presentation was mind blowing! It was WELL worth the price. I also added a cocktail option and he made fresh passion fruit blended mescaline. I've never had one made with the actual fruit - it was the best mescaline I've ever had. The chimichurri sauce complemented the steak so well and the salad with mangoes had an exquisite dressing - so tasty! The flan desert was creamy and delicious. I couldn't have asked for a better dinner. I highly recommend Mauricio.

Mauricio was the highlight of our vacation. He listened to our wants and really went above and beyond! 10/10 would recommend and work with him again.

Chef Mauricio's cooking is fantastic! I had him cook a special seafood meal for my birthday at our AirBnB. It was 8 of us, he had a small limited cooking space, and he still managed to cook a wonderful meal that our group raved about. His ceviche is delicious, probably the best I've had. The shrimp tostada was also a big hit with our group. He's quiet, professional, and very friendly. Book him!

Amazing Food. Chef was a vibe!

He was awesome and the food was beyond amazing! I would book with him again and again and again! I really enjoyed every course! He was on time and so nice and welcoming! Thank you friend!

Chef Mauricio was amazing! He arrived early and started cooking right away. The food was so tasty and he left the kitchen spotless. Thank you for making my brothers birthday so special!

C’était super ! La nourriture est excellente, je recommande à 100% Le meilleur chef de la région

Omg! I did not know what to expect. Mauricio was great and so was the food! He was clean, friendly, and professional. The food was fresh and he did an awesome job cooking it. I went out of my comfort zone with my selection and was surprisingly satisfied! I’d definitely recommend! You won’t be disappointed.

some of the best food I have ever eaten!

This was a phenomenal experience. The food was much more than we could have ever expected. Every single course was better than the last. We were celebrating our anniversary and we couldn’t have picked a better person to cook for us to celebrate. Loved all that was made.

The food amazing! Everything was cooked to perfection! The flavor of the food was delightful.
